Tulips, daffs & herbs - 4 October 2006

Here's all the baby strawberry plants ready for next year - at least 50. Amoungst them I've planted at least 30 tulip bulbs - I couldn't think of anywhere better that had actually been dug!

And here are the one year old Cambridge Favourite strawberries - dug up the courgettes to make room for them!

Planted rosemary, golden thyme, sage, thyme, purple sage and lace mantle (achemollis) cutting carefully avoiding the garlic cloves.

Here's the cutting from my gardening course - it is good for flower arranging apparantly so lets hope it takes. I was embarrassingly one week and one hour late for my first class - the shame and yet totally unsurprisingly typical! This week we learnt about growing and using herbs which was interesting and useful.

Finally, planted the daffodils in grass close to the water tank, unfortunately I broke my latest 2 month old fork trying to dig into the weed infested soil - lucky it's guaranteed for 10 years and I have the receipt - somewhere!!
